Today, we’ll reveal the opening odds and three bets below for the English FA Cup Fourth Round matches on Saturday, Feb 8th. Let’s get into it!
This will be a fun matchup between two Championship League teams. Leeds, as you can see from the odds, is a pretty large favorite to take this home.
They have won 8 straight against Millwall at home, with their last loss coming in 2018. Leeds currently sits atop the Championship League, while Millwall is in 14th.
Leyton Orient seem to have the world against them in this matchup. The reigning Premier League Champions, Man City, will be heading to Gaughan Group Stadium to take on a Leyton squad who currently sits in 6th in League One.
There shouldn’t be much to this one. City should easily control it. There's a reason why they are such large favorites.
This is an interesting matchup to me. Both of these teams sit close to the bottom of the Championship League table, 18th and 19th.
Stoke are winless in their last nine matches against Cardiff, so it will be a mental battle to win this one at home.
It has been a rough go for Southampton in the Premier League this season, but they are still the better team in this matchup.
Burnley have failed to score in three of their last four games and have had issues in front of the net all season. Southampton should be capable of winning this one at home.
Both of these teams have been in good form. Everton was struggling but seemed to find their stride under new manager David Moyes.
Bournemouth are unbeaten on the road in their last six, however, and have been on a tear in Premier League play. This should be a fun one between two top-tier teams.
It hasn’t been a great run for Ipswich back in the Premier League so far. They have just 16 points through 24 games and are on pace for relegation back to the Championship League.
However, I would say that they have the upper hand in this matchup. Coventry is a mid-tier Championship League team but made a run to the semi-finals last season. We will see if they can break their 2 game-losing streak to Ipswich in this one.
This should be a fun one between two teams with a lot of history against each other. Wycombe has won their last two meetings against Preston, but Preston won 13 straight from 1996-2020.
Wycombe is currently in 2nd in League One (3rd tier), and Preston is mid-table in the Championship League (tier 2). Preston should have the advantage in talent and the home field.
The odds tell the story in this one. Fulham has been a competitive team in the Premier League, while Wigan has struggled in League One. However, Wigan has had historical runs in previous FA Cups.
They famously defeated Manchester City in the 2012-13 FA Cup Final. I don’t really see that magic happening again, though.
Newcastle is rightfully a large favorite in this one. Birmingham are top of League One, while Newcastle sits in sixth place in the Premier League.
While Birmingham is having a good season, it will be a tall mountain to climb to take out Newcastle, who has been on fire in the Premier League. Don’t overthink this one.
Brighton is coming off an absolutely brutal 7-0 loss to Nottingham Forest this past weekend and there is good reason to think that game could still be affecting them.
Chelsea has also won the last 4 matchups between these two teams, so they could have a mental advantage here. This should be a fun one, though, so make sure to tune in.
Chelsea (+125) at Brighton - Brighton is coming off of an awful 7-0 loss against Brighton. Chelsea hasn’t been outstanding recently, but I think they will be able to field a stronger team than Brighton who has to regain some confidence.
Preston (+125) vs Wycombe - Preston has lost 2 straight against Wycombe, but they are a league above their opponents and have lost only 1 of their last 5. I think the home team will be able to hold on for a W.
Leeds to win vs Millwall and Over 1.5 goals -125 - Leeds is a big favorite here and they have won 8 straight against Millwall at home. They should be able to secure a win and net some goals against a struggling Millwall team.
